Finite- A Fantastic Beasts/Crimes of Grindelwald fanfiction

Jacob's POV

   I sit on the couch, trying to comfort Queenie. I don't think I've ever seen her so upset. I realise now that she rarely fights with Tina and that's probably why it affects her so much.
   "Queenie, love, it's alright. She didn't mean it."
   "She did!"
   "Alright, maybe she did. So what? I'm sure she only wants the best for you!" I say, putting my hands on her shoulders.
   She inhales deeply, closing her eyes briefly.
   "You're probably right. Anyways, Newt is out there and I'm sure they will-"
   She is interrupted by the door opening.
   Newt enters, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking lost.
   "Newt, you alright man?"
   Queenie gasps and stands up.
   "You are engaged?" she says in shock.
   "No! No, I-I'm not. It is a mistake in the paper.."
   "What do you mean?"
   "My brother is marrying Leta, not me."
   "And where is Tina?"
   "She.. She took off."
   "Why didn't you go after her?" I say.
   "We, um I.. I don't know."
   I sigh.
   "Newt, buddy. Remember this. When your girl runs away, you chase after her!"
   "My girl? She's not mine.."
   "Oh, Merlin's beard" Queenie mutters.
   I decide to let it go for now.
   "So how are we going to find her?" I ask.
   "We just wait. There's nothing we can do." Queenie says.
   Newt ponders for a bit, then his eyes light up.
   "Actually...I think my Niffler can track her down.."
   "You brought the Niffler?" I say, a bit worried.
   "It's alright, I fixed the case. As long as it's closed, nothing can come out."
   "Newt.." Queenie says, pointing at the case, wide open on the floor.
   "Oh no" I gulp.
   Newt hurriedly goes into the case and I hear rattling.
   After a few minutes he climbs back up.
   "Bugger. He's gone"
   "Why do I have deja-vu?" I question.
   "Accio Niffler!" Newt says, but nothing happens.
   "He is not in the room" he says looking around. He turns to Queenie.
   "Does Tina have any jewellery of some sort?" he asks.
   "Not really, just a locket..Why, do you think-"
   "It might be a possibility."he says, closing the case and picking it up. "Come on, let's go."
   We get up and get out the door into the cold London air.
   "Newt-How exactly are we going to find Tina? "
   He stops.
   "I haven't really though about it... I guess we can just look around.."
   "Look around? That's not really a plan, isn't it?"
   "I guess not."
   "Shhh!" whispers Queenie. "I'm trying to listen!"
   "Wha.. You can hear her? That means she's close, right?" I ask.
   "Not really.. if I concentrate I can always hear her thoughts, us being sisters and all."

Queenie's POV

   I close my eyes, trying to reach Tina's thoughts. It's draining, that's why I don't do it very often. When she is in trouble I can always hear her more clearly for some reason. Given that it's an effort now, it means she isn't in trouble. At least not yet.
   "How much does it ta-" starts Jacob.
   I raise my finger and put it to my lips. I can't answer now, I'm so close.
   "All right, now come here! No-NOT THERE!. Why in the name of Deliverance Dane you had to get in there?! No-Not the silverware, no!"
   I have to stop myself from laughing.
   "Newt, I guess she found the Niffler"
   His face lights up.
   "It sounds like she is chasing him. It seemed like he got into a store, something with silverware."
   His face falls.
   "Piffering pest .."he mutters. "All right, I think I know where sh-he is. There is a shop not far from here"
   "Why do you look so worried then?" I ask.
   "Well, um, slight problem is that is a exp-very expensive store."
   "Oh no... Let's hurry then!"
   We start running on the streets as fast as we can. I try to listen again.
   "What can I do? They caught me, and I can't take out my wand, I would break the law.."
   I sigh. Classic Tina, always worying about the laws.
   "We have to hurry! It sounds like some No-Majs caught her!"
   We pick up the pace.
   "Now a right here!" Newt announces as we reach a crossroad.
   I see Tina. There are two cops, their guns drawn, closing in on her. Behind her, the store is a mess. The window is shattered  and the inside looks like a tornado was there.
Jacob laughs at the sight.
   "Oh boy, the memories.." thinks Jacob.
   I look at Newt and he nods while drawing his wand. I do the same.
   "Petrificus Totalus!" we say at the same time. The No-Majs fall to the ground, petrified.
   "You obliviate them, I'll go get the Niffler!" Newt says as he runs past me. I nod and go to the No-Majs that are on the ground.
   "Obliviate!" I say as I flick my wand towards them.
   They stand up and look at me, confused.
   "What.. How..?"
   "You were going this way, gentlemen" I say as I point towards an alley.
   "Yeah.. I guess.." they say confused as they walk towards the alley,talking about what they were just doing.
